The Brian Conley Show was a comedy chat show presented by Brian Conley with celebrity guests and music. The original Brian Conley Show title was revived for this series.

The show was known for its A-List Hollywood guests, like James Belushi, Leslie Nielsen and Kathleen Turner appearing on the show. Other guests included Ulrika Jonsson, Patsy Palmer and John Hannah. It also featured strange guests like a boneless man and a juggling fly, which were more unusual and extreme compared to the previous show. There were also some mini-sketches featured, including Brian helping a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? where all four answers to the question where "Brian Conley".

Although the show lasted for three series, many fans were unhappy that it hardly matched to the original 90s series. None of Brian's sketch characters featured on the show, as it focused more on chat rather than comedy and variety.
